INC Man NIiIIiner,s Reign.

Everywhere uptown cloth jackets that
fit like Jerseys and ulsters that a. c mold
ed to the graceful, rounding figures of
the ladies, as men can scarcely hope or
wish their overcoats to be, inclose the
persons of all well-dressed women. 1t
is impossible for any man except q
woman's tailor to Judge whether the
new fashion is or is not a good one.
And / would not give fig for the opir-
ion of a man so dull that he could see a
half-dozen Murray Hill girls, who have
strained art and poured out money in
order to look their best, and then could
express any but the one opinion. Amid
the rack and stress of shifting fashions
since have been among item each al
teration in their gowns has seemed to
make them more and more enhancing.
What brought about this revolutionl
Wei, first the common Jersey, which
made display of the outline of the fig
ure popular, and then the demand for an
equally tight-fitting overgarmentto keep
up the accurate exposure of outline when
the weather called for something out
side and on top Of the jersey. The
mems tailors were called upon TO con-
struct these feminine '.ulsters," as
they were called These tailors got ex-
ira prices for this new work and liked
it that is, the extra prices so well that
they enlarged their signs to attract more
aides. This encroaehea on the field of
he men dressmakers, who then hired
all ors and also altered their signs.
Thus the words ''ladies' tailor" appeared
on the signs of two sets of tradesmen.
And thus, also, came it to pass that the
original mems taiors went on from max
ing listers to making dresses, aud the
men dressmakers became the makers of
tailor-made garments of all sorts. 1t is
interesting to visit one of these ladies'
tailor shops, as 1 did yesterday. Here
were trousers by the score hung in line
on hooks, like beeves before butchers
stall, and across the room were great glass
cases filed with ladies jackets and skirts,
blazing with embroidery in gold, with
gaudv ribbons and with buttons big as
butter dishes. A young man with his
coat off and one arm out stiff, like a
mailbag catcher on postal car, was be-
ing measured for a coat in the thick of
q bevy of circling ladies. one of whom
stood on a low platform while a young
cir! encircled her with a ia e measure
and the great woman's tailor talked Of
whalebones. Innings, flounces and l don't
know what not.-Neio York Letter.

PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR

Is unftness in dress popularity Of
American women' asks Clara Belle in
one of her New York letters. Are the
women OF other nations as iusensible to
the incongruous as are oursl These
ques ions were suggested by the scene
in Z basement room of one of tbs large
stores i'll this city. There were hundreds
of women passing in and out and stohiug
from one counter to the other. and
among them were worn some Of the
handsomest street toilettes | ever saw.
Often was the eye almost blinded BY the
sparkling of jet in the electric light, and
satins, velvets, pushes of all color
formed moving kaleidoscope The de
paltment was one for housekeeping
goods, and some OF those gorgeously
arrayed women were selecting chopping
bowls. carving knives, tin pans, fire
shovels, etc. The climax was reached
when, through an opening in the throng,
l saw young woman whose toilet was
largely made up of white watered silk
and Ia posing black bottomed kettle
with dainty gloved hand Her cos
tune would have answered FOR an ele-
giant reception; perhaps she intended go

An Elephant in a Parade Ground.

A mensgeue was recently moving
slowly along the road near Portsmouth,
England, when the largest elephant of
the caravan, who is known as Madam
Jumbo, escaped from her keeper. aud
charged upon military barrack that
stood by the road. She seized with her
trunk tie sentinel who stood at the gate,
and threw him at full ZENITH on the
ground, without hurting him in the
least, and then triumphantly entered the
parade ground within the barracks at a
grand trot. The 500 soldiers who were
drilling in the enclosure were so much
astonished and alarmed at the appear
.ance of so strange an enemy, that they
broke ranks and took flight in every d.
rection. The elephant proceeded to at
tack a tank filed with water. part Of
which she drank, and upset the rest
Then she charged upon bin filed with
potatoes for the soldiers, and ate up the
potatoes Having satisfied her hunger
and thirst, and put q battalion Of soldiers
to route, Madam Jumbo allowed herself
to be captured, and contentedly resumed
her place in the caravan, to the great re-
lief of the soldiers.

Thackeray, in one of his novels, says:
There are II oreaclever women in the

my part my opinion of thi. cleverness
rises every day. When I say that l

''You see a blocking woman,
faithful in house bills and SHIFT buttons,

A great many people are afflicted with ca
tarrh " no do not know what ais them; and
a great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured,
Thickening of the membrane which lines
the nasal passages, thus making breathing
difficult; discharge from the nostrils, more
or less eopions, watery or thick, according TO
the stage OF the disease; a sense of fullnsss in
the head; a constant inclination to spit; and,
in advanced cases, dropping Of intensely dis
gushing matter into the throat. are a few Of
the prominent symptoms OF Catarrh-
Deafness, inhamed eyes, neuralgia pains,
sore throat and loss OF sense OF smell are
very often caused by Catarrh-
All these troubles are cured by Piso's Rem
edy for Catarrh. Relief is had Immediately
after beginning its use, but it is important
that il be continued without interruption until
the catarrhal virus IS expelled from the sys-
tenn and healthy secretions replace the dis
eased action of the mucous membrane Man
ifestly it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a
short time OF disease that has been progress
ing for monthsor years
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for CatArrh- Its
so concentrated that very small dose is di-
rected- The quantity in one package is suifi-
Gent for a long treatment, consequently tho
expense is mere trifie, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for 1t but forgetfulness-
cold in the head is relieved by an tppli, a
tion OF Piso's Remedy for Catarrh- The oom-
fort TO be got from 1t in this way Is worth

The Queen of Portugal wears the Paris
life savers medal In 1874 she was
bathing with her two sons, Charles and
Alphon.o, aged eleven aud nine years,
at the watering place of Gascaes- A big
wave carried oil the two children, aud
the Queen boldly swan out to their re
lief. The sea was running high, and the
lady and her boys were nearly lost IN tne
surf. when the lightaou- keeper, seeing
their danger, dashed into the water and
succeeded in bringing all three to shore
in safety. Her majesty wears her medal
proudly as the reward of her bravery;
but there is no record of any medal or
any other reward having been given to

There was desperate battle the other

stealthily erawled up the side Of the

rake in an unsuspecling sparrow, when
suddenly the entire flock of birds few
out of the tree and encircled it, making
a chirping noise so loud and citing as
to be heard all over the neighborhood.
After flying about the tree for u moment,
a half dozen or more birds few at the

about the head and back until it was

When to Eat Fruit.

The real place for fruit is at the begin
ming of feast, and not at the end. A
better plan still is to make a meal Of
bread and ri e fruit The best meals to
make thus are breakfast, lunch, or early
tea The bread should be brown and
dry, and the fruit ripe and raw. Dry
brown bread cleans the tongue and
brings out the flavor Of the fruit. Butter
on the bread would give its own favor,
or even the salt in the butter would de-
stfoy the pare taste of the fruit. Again,
the fruit should be raw if possible, as
many delicious odors and delicate fiavors
are lost in the cooking. Chicago Tri-
